(output, lines 3-6). I don't find that helpful. At all. Please note that I'm not intending to shut you off here - _I_ know what is meant by sanitizing the headers (or, I think I do), but the book doesn't go into any detail. Maybe we ought to change the chapter 5 reference to 'sanitizing' (5.6) - that is where we first mention it. At the moment we say I have returned to LFS a number of times, I use the whole experience as a learning resource and yes, it still is too advanced for me, but I would appreciate the additional slightly more wordy text, because it aids my understanding of the process of sanitizing. This is done by way of sanitizing various C header files that are shipped in the Linux kernel source tarball. perhaps change to ... source tarball (to make them fit for use by userspace applications). Ditto here, this increases my ability to Google something meaningful. But I've been doing this stuff for years, back to the days of linux-libc-headers and clfs's own attempt. Not sure if my wording would add anything useful for new readers, or if it would just sow confusion. And anyway, I'm too busy to do any development at the moment. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

Re: Browsing internet from LFS live cd
I used the latest debian live cd
(debian-live-6.0.1-i386-gnome-desktop.iso), the Internet worked fine
out of the box for me.
To get the script in section vii. Host System Requirements reporting
that all is well, try...
sudo su -
ln -f -s /bin/bash /bin/sh
apt-get install binutils bison gawk build-essential

It may not detect the network card. The live CD is no longer supported.
You can test a little more with `ifconfig -a`. If eth0 does not show up
then, the card is probably more recent than the iso.
Try using a more recent livecd from http://www.livecdlist.com/
Good advice as far as it goes, but many of those LiveCDs on the list
don't have a development environment on them. So, I'll add:
Eschew the small ones. I like Knoppix. The 6.4.4 version is nice,
It likes to boot Ariadne, which you probably won't want, unless you
are seeing impaired. So when you boot, specify knoppix. You get
a pretty good choice of window managers. If you use/like LXDE, then
one little gotcha is that by default it only has one workspace,
and no manager installed on the tool bar. Right click on the
tool bar near the right, and you'll get the option to add the
workspace manager:
Add/Remove Panel Items - +Add - Desktop Pager
Click +Add at the bottom to confirm, and you'll get four workspaces,
which I find nice. One for work, one for a copy of the book, one
for a browser.
If you can boot from a DVD, it's got more stuff on it, though it takes
a while to download. The CD is adequate, I believe. I just booted
up the CD version in a virtual machine, to check whether GCC is
installed, and it's there.
Anything else you need can be apt-get install ed, though it won't
persist between boots, of course. I used Knoppix to recover a crashed
disc recently, and while I can't say I enjoyed the experience, I was
very adequate.

What has happened to 70-persistent-net.rules
This is my first time reaching this far with LFS. I'm using version 6.8, haven't deviated at all. Am running within vmware using debian as the host. In 7.13.1 Creating stable names for network interfaces - I am told to inspect /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules but currently the file doesn't exist on my system. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
